From the first contact with Trista, she was the most amazing host. She supplied SO much information about the area and things that interested us. The property was wonderful with every detail you could think of taken care of. Beds are comfortable (always a concern) and property clean. We had rain twice during our stay, but it didn't dampen our fun while there. We loved the covered porch area and ate our meals there. I highly recommend a stay there - you are made to feel like the most welcomed guest.

Peaceful mountain getaway

We spent four nights at Honeybee Hideaway with two kids and a dog for our spring break and we had the most fun and relaxing time. The house was super clean and had everything we needed and more. Trista was super helpful while we were making plans and very responsive during our trip. Our kids loved the mountain coaster and the public pool water slide, we hiked Glen Falls which was incredible, and ate at many restaurants in Highlands including Blue Bike (twice), Stubborn Bull and Ugly Dog. The view off the back porch is amazing for sunsets and the neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet but just a short drive to all the action in town. We will definitely be back!

The Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect home to relax and make memories! We spent all of our mornings and evenings on the back porch in front of the fire - stunning!. Every detail was thought of - nothing was overlooked. The location is so close to town, but you feel like you're away from the hustle and bustle when you get back to Honeybee Hideaway. The owners put a lot of love and thought into this home, and you can really feel it while you're staying there. Trista was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. In all my years on VRBO, this was my best experience to date!

Very nice house and good location

House is mostly one level which is great for older folks. Deck, both covered and open to enjoy a lovely long range view. Close enough to town to run to the grocery store yet nestled in a safe neighborhood. Been to Highlands many times and this is one the nicest houses I have rented.

Nice clean updated cabin with new back porch addition

The cabin was spotless and was decorated nicely with an original theme related to Honeybees. The area was in a peaceful neighborhood and the new back porch addition was a plus for the house. We spent lots of time sitting and looking at the great view. The owners put a lot of thought into making this cabin (inside and out) a peaceful retreat for us.

Outstanding Hospitality

Trista is an outstanding hostess. She seeks out feedback from her guests so that she can make the house more comfortable and inviting. There was a basket of snacks on the counter and a notebook on the coffee table with information about the house and things to do in Highlands. The best part of the house is its gorgeous deck and fireplace with a lovely view. I highly recommend a stay at the Honeybee Hideaway.

Perfect getaway!

My husband and I took a last minute trip to Highlands, NC to see the fall colors. We were so lucky to find Honey Bee Hideaway. The location is perfect and so are the views from the back balcony porch. The road is hard-top and not difficult to drive. Trista is awesome! You can tell she really loves the area and is happy to share info. There are waterfalls and hikes nearby, and town is only a 5 min drive. We took the drive into Cashiers to explore some more and ate at The Cornucopia for lunch, which has a nice nostalgic feel. The road to Cashiers is winding but was very beautiful. We went to Silver Run Falls which was an easy trail walk to the falls. I would highly recommend staying at this home. Thank you Trista for sharing it!

About the host

Hosted by Trista Ross

Host profile image
Welcome! We are absolutely thrilled that you are here! We know that you will have a wonderful stay and fabulous time in the beautiful town of Highlands! As avid travelers ourselves, we have stocked the place with all the essentials you will need for a comfortable stay.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (GO STEELERS!) then moved to Atlanta, Georgia after college and have been here ever since.
My husband got into beekeeping back in 2016 because he loves the taste of honey and he loves tackling new adventures. We have many hives at our home in Georgia and he enjoys the beekeeping hobby. We harvest the honey each year and offer it to our friends and family: 3 Sweet Bees Honey.
Currently, I am home raising our three children and managing Honey Bee Hideaway.
I used to be a semi-professional baker and I had a home-based bakery: Sugar and Spice Sweets. I still enjoy baking and cooking and so do my girls! We also love camping and hiking as a family. Waterfall hikes are our very favorite, we haven't seen a waterfall in North Carolina that we didn't fall in love with!
North Carolina is one of our very favorite places to travel to. There are cities, beaches, waterfalls, and mountains all in one state! It's just the best of it all!
I love hosting people in our sweet Honey Bee Hideaway! I just love to connect with and meet new people, even if it's only virtually. I love to help people have a great time and explore the world. That's why I became a host!
We hope that you have an amazing time at Honeybee Hideaway and we'd love to host you the next time that you are in town. Bee Blessed!
